APDS9960 RGB, Ambient Light, Gesture Sensor

Overview

This sample application demonstrates how to use the APDS9960 sensor to get ambient light, RGB, and proximity (or gesture) data. This sample checks the sensor in polling mode (without an interrupt trigger).

Building and Running

This sample application uses an APDS9960 sensor connected to an Arduino 101 board (for example as shown in this Sparkfun APDS9960 tutorial). There are two processor cores (x86 and ARC) on the Arduino 101. You'll need to flash both this sample's code on the ARC core (using the arduino101_sss board target), and stub code on the x86 core (using the arduino_101 board target), as shown below:
